Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 3. The recovery phase begins during convalescence following the completion of medical treatment.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The bolus is given by the healthcare provider at the beginning of therapy, and is not repeated.
Rationale 2: The patient experiences pain relief within 30 minutes of receiving oral pain medications. IV pain medications provide rapid pain relief.
Rationale 3: The preset pump has a time lockout, so the patient cannot deliver another dose until a specified period has elapsed, but it allows the patient to do the administering.
Rationale 4: The patient is locked out of delivering as many doses as might be desired by the preset time lockout in the pump.
